For an awards presentation based on an online poll, it seems to be a pretty accurate snapshot of current fan favorite groups. There don’t seem to be too many instances where an artist’s e-blast to their supporters unduly influenced the final choices.
Favorite album – My Favorite Place?
Hasn’t this been out for 2 or three years already?
Come to think of it, yes.
Although I probably wouldn’t have voted exactly the same way, I am glad to see that there are some groups/individuals who heretofore never were recognized get some recognition.
I find it rather odd that My Favorite Place is favorite album, seeing as it was released in 2005.
Yeah, and considering there have been much better albums then itself. That’s not to put down GV…they’re one of the best out there.
If that’s the case, just imagine if they still had When I See the Cross on there-or better yet, if they pushed it further to You Can Have a Song. That album is almost 20 years old!!!
